The NodeJS installer appears to add the user AppData Roaming npm path to the user environment path  which is appropriate   Normally  the PATH environment variable at the command line is the combination of the user environment path and the system environment path   However  if the user environment path   the system environment path is larger than about 1920 characters  Windows does not not combine the user and system paths - only the system environment path is used    See  https   stackoverflow com a 21270921 301152  So  when you open the Advanced System Settings in Windows to edit your environment variables  take a look to see if the user AppData Roaming npm path is already in your user environment PATH  If it is  then the problem is that your user   system paths are too long  causing Windows to ignore your user path   Trim your user and or system path strings and gulp should work as installed   If you can t find anything to trim away from your user and system paths  then add the user AppData Roaming npm path to the system environment path and call it a hack

I am using Windows 8 1  I had the same problem   I installed gulp using Node js command prompt  npm install -g gulp   Then go to the required directory in Node js command prompt and try  gulp -v   If you get gulp local version not found exit the current Node js command prompt and try the above command in a new Node js command prompt  I tried the NODE PATH mentioned by  SteveLacy but the command prompt was still not able to detect gulp command

I was having the same problem when trying to get gulp working on a co-workers VM   It seems the problem stems from the users folder   Adding NODE PATH in my environment variables didn t fix the problem   If you edit your  Path  variable in your system variables and add   APPDATA  npm  at the end of that  it should fix the problem    Unless you or somebody else npm installed gulp as another user than the one you re currently logged in as   If you want it to be available for all users  put  C  Users yourUser AppData Roaming npm  or where ever you have gulp  explicitly instead of using   APPDATA  npm    You can also move the files to a more user-indifferent path   Don t forget to start a new cmd prompt  because the one you have open won t get the new  Path  variable automatically   Now  gulp

I had a similar problem setting it up in windows 10  My answer is windows specific  look at the answers for modifying path in bash for a linux or OSX solution   The core problem I had was that npm s folder was not registered in the path  I originally tried changing this in cmd prompt   setx path   path   appdata  npm    Note that I used setx instead of set to ensure that the update to the environmental variable remains  Also note that it s a backslash   This should work but for me it didn t because setx has a limit of only accepting 1024 characters     yes it s nonsensical to me as well    So try the above and if you get a warning like did about reaching the 1024 limit  then you can do the other way I ended up doing   First while youre still in the console  type  echo  appdata  npm     this is your npm folder that you want to add to the path so add it to your clipboard   You have to go into the registry and reach the following folder   HKEY LOCAL MACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Control Session Manager Environment  Then append the  Path  value with the npm folder path in your clipboard  Reboot to activate the new value and you should now be good to go     Finally  just test it all out   gt npm install -g gulp  gt gulp

If you need to install a global version gulp as described on the gulpjs com site and still have issues  you may need to clean npm s cache  For instance  if you have previously installed gulp and managed to blow it away by accident  it may not install properly again because it s looking for directories that no longer exist  In which case  run    sudo npm cache clean  Then install gulp as you normally would

In short   You should add  NODE PATH  to the system variable Path if the other answers don t work   The reason   The point is  command prompt only executes programs under the Path system variable  not the user variables  If you have NODE PATH set as a user variable  add  NODE PATH  to Path     I asked here and got marked duplicate for a question with different intention      NPM Windows doesn t execute program under the User Variable path  duplicate

So I haven t seen this answer yet  and that NODE PATH and all these other so-called environment variable fixes didn t do anything  so I thought I d add my brute force way of getting this to work   Obviously you install the latest node js and do npm install   I also had to upgrade some dependencies first  was getting warnings on these when I tried to install gulp  and before I ran these commands it was telling me it was missing the popper js dependency Bootstrap 4 required - even though it was actually ok in that department       npm install -g minimatch  Enter   npm install -g graceful-fs  Enter   I saw when I did npm install -g gulp  again  though  and it was failing to run   it was putting it in  C  Users myname AppData Roaming npm node modules  So because I was running gulp  from a command line that was cd d to my project folder in   C  Users myname Documents Visual Studio 2015 Projects myproject  I doubt it knew anything about that other location   Also my package json didn t have    scripts         gulp    gulp       Instead  it had    scripts         start    gulp       So it could not run gulp  anyway  even if it had been installed to the project  I guess at this point maybe if I had ran start instead of gulp  it might ve worked  but so I added a comma after  gulp  and another line    scripts         start    gulp        gulp    gulp       Then I copied the gulp folder from  C  Users myname AppData Roaming npm node modules gulp to C  Users myname Documents Visual Studio 2015 Projects myproject node modules gulp  and it worked fine after that

Had the same problem  not really best solution but install it globally   npm install -g gulp   Of course it s best to still have it in package json  so you can do the following to install it locally and add an entry into package json   npm install --save-dev gulp   Everything else  gulp plugins  install also locally
